U.S. EPA's STORET Team would like to invite you to attend the 2007 STORET/WQX Users Conference being held November 27-29 in Austin, Texas!

Since the last STORET conference in 2004, a lot of changes have taken place, mostly with the new WQX system. This users conference will be a great opportunity for water quality data managers, water program experts, as well as IT and Exchange Network specialists to meet together and share information. Please also consider the opportunity to present during the conference.

Conference topic areas include:

-- The new WQX framework and data sharing
-- Data access and analysis
-- Tribal data management
-- Transitioning from the distributed STORET system
